Hey, thanks for the link. i`ll be spending some time on there. not only deere, but different brands i can compare with.
i wont give up on the personal help/experience tho!

my dad used to drive pulp truck, in the 70`s he was driving a mack pulling a too big load out of the woods and lugged it down so far it bucked and took off running in the opposite direction. he just shut it down and restarted it and continued on his way. guess i dont know what kind of damage to the ...

well, i`m learning! when did the 450`s come out with hydrostatic drive? did they go totally hydo then or did they continue making them with a regular transmission? interesting that some b`s had the wet clutches. have looked at a few 450`s for sale last summer, but beat to near death. what about weig...

thanks for the help, the little bit i did know about the different models were that the 450 c had the wet clutches. i`ll take any info you have on the different models. have been keeping an eye on machinery trader, seems my dad is looking for that PERFECT 450 the one you dont need to take out a seco...

Lavoy, the last time i asked you a question about throwing tracks on a 420c you mentioned to check the bushings on the front idlers. still have not found the time to check them out, but would like to replace them anyway. do you have them onhand? how much? doing an excellent job on this site, just ha...

the tracks on my 420 derail seemingly easy. have them tight to specs. of course if i`m into rock or tree stumps its a guarantee i will be running them off if i dont catch it right away. am i missing something? any tips or hints on tuneups to undercarriage or front idler wheel? yes, this old girl has...

Lavoy,

i passed the word on to his wife, he is in the hospital overnight and will be home tomorrow evening. hes an old feller and has had a stroke recent, so he has a bit of a slur to his speech, but understandable.

thanks for your help, Tim

Lavoy,

i can pass the word along, but do you want to check to see if you have one first??? or i`ll just give him your phone number, i think i might still have it?

thanks, Tim

Lavoy,

i finally got a serial # from my friend that needs a final drive case.

serial # 87821

Thanks, Tim

lavoy,

i`ll check with him and get back to you with a serial number.

any news on my parts for the direction reverser yet?

thanks, Tim

Lavoy, i should have specified it was a used case. i did not know some one had made new cases, but he is not concerned with looks. if it does what it is supposed to do, then it is fine with him. if you have a price on a used one you may have, let me know and i will tell him. he`s even worse than me,...
